This link was tweeted out by Ohio Football, should work. It probably won't go live until (HOPEFULLY) shortly before game time.

Also, Stadium is an actual network. A subnetwork, but a network none-the-less. In Columbus, it is on WTTE 28.3. So check Stadium's website and see if your market has it. Also, although they don't have an app, several Roku "free cable wanna-be channel" apps carry it - Roku Channel, Pluto, and Stirr. I haven't seen OU- Marshall listed anywhere but a couple of them just say "NCAA football 4-8" so who knows!?

I am always happy to be able to watch a game. In earlier times it was an exception to be able to watch OHIO games and available only a few times per season.
BUT- The Facebook production team and on air talent was really subpar. They apparently have a deal with CUSA to broadcast some games. Their CUSA conference bias was expected but only added to their lack of professionalism.Their graphics and on screen game information was pretty bad too.
I watched the game on Facebook and listened to RUSS and ROB on TuneIn .
Should we be concerned that TV broadcasts like this become the new normal for mid-major conferences?

I really liked the broadcast. I thought it was kinda cool and unique how they were interacting with the fans in real time and were putting up pictures people were sending in and conducting live polls. If they could find a way find a way to get like a Facebook app on the smart tvs or a channel on sling or something I could see it gaining popularity.

I can do without the live interaction but I can see the younger generation going for it.

Initially a skeptic of how well the stream would work over Facebook, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and reliability of the data stream. I saw few if any data dropouts, and the stream ran continuously from beginning to the end of the game without breaking.

I won't comment on the broadcast team other that I thought they did a respectable job.

One good feature, there were no timeouts due to commercial breaks, and the only commercial breaks occurred when there was a long timeout, end of quarter etc. The commercial breaks that did happen were either for promoting the Stadium network, Conference CSUA, or Marshall. There was actually a promotion for OU in one break, but the announcers incorrectly introduced it as for Marshal U.

That was EASILY the least bad (dare I say...best?) OHIO commercial I can remember ever seeing

Overall a decent broadcast. The announcers weren't too homey for T'erd but the pbp announcer needs to stay within his comfort zone. Obviously he's too young to know that the late Eddie Money, not Freddie Mercury, sang "Two Tickets to Paradise."

One thing they've got to change is their halftime feature. They had a recorded segment with two guys talking about whether to buy into the 2-0 hype for four or five teams, but two of them had lost Friday night (UNC and BC). Nothing worse than airing dated material. I did like that they showed some of the 110.
